KT is pioneering the DX market for manufacturing companies by unveiling a cloud-based engineering platform.

KT announced on the 3rd that it has launched a cloud-based high-performance engineering platform service to enable manufacturing companies to effectively use high-performance computing (HPC) resources for research and development.

KT's cloud-based, high-performance engineering platform service provides an environment for conducting various fluid, structural, thermal, and electromagnetic engineering tests in the research and development, production, and design processes performed by most manufacturing companies in the automotive, shipbuilding, aviation, machinery, and electronics industries.

Because resources are allocated and used as needed, they can be scaled up or down as needed. Furthermore, Siemens' computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution, Simcenter STAR-CCM+, is offered as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, reducing initial costs by up to 60% compared to building HPC on your own.

KT said that although it is a cloud service, its performance is 10% higher than that of on-premise HPCs with the same specifications. We also applied the parallel distributed technology of Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s high-performance cluster-based large-scale cloud analytics platform to increase engineering test performance by up to 10 times.

By strengthening line security through direct connection methods based on SD-WAN, dedicated lines, and hyper-connected exchange (HCX), we prevented the leakage of key data such as corporate design data and test results.

Oh Hoon-yong, Executive Director of Proposal/Execution Division 2 at KT Enterprise, said, “Many manufacturing companies are adopting new technologies for digital transformation (DX),” and added, “Based on our ICT business experience and network capabilities, we will pioneer the cloud engineering platform service market and lead the DX market for manufacturing companies.”
